Any good math/science/engineering apps out there?

[Abe21599]

I'm currently an engineering student and I was looking around for some fun apps to play with on my droid. I have the following (pertaining to math & science)

-coles calculus review ( just cheat sheets for calc and trig)
-math alarm clock (do math problems to silence your alarm)
-TED (some science news app)

but thats really it. I mean im on the advanced math (completed my calc stuff a while back so the cheat sheets are only good for when i forget some integral ) and the math alarm clock is just a pain (my brain doesnt work when i just wake up so some of those are hard to solve for even me lol (fail) )

I was just seeing if anyone out there was able to find some that were interesting to play with or any engineering-related ones in general

Thanks guys

btw its aerospace for anyone who was gonna ask (hence the plane avatar)

Droid48 if you're an RPN guy...

I've been impressed with the multi-functionality of the Tricorder app.

thanks guys for the input

i also forgot to add i also have the periodic table (very helpful info for each element) and maths workout (just so me and my friends can see who can do the challenge one quicker)

Unit Converter is handy...

There's also Arity Calculator for a graphing calculator.

Formulas lite is a pretty good all in one app, you might wanna check it out.

I have Tricorder too, but I have not yet used it for anything other than watching it and being amused for about 10 seconds, then closing it. Someday I will be in an emergency and someone will shout "QUICK! I need to know all about the magnetic fields in this area!" and I will save the day. Then I will win the lottery and will be drafted into the NFL.

Yup downloaded the formulas lite much more useful than coles calculus review. And for the graphing calculator, id try it but I already spend most of my day with my TI89 in my back pocket

Heh, true enough. I think I've used it a couple times for the WiFi analyzer, but other than that, it's a "show off the Droid" gimmick for people who've never seen one before. I guess the Tricorder would have been a lot more useful back in engineering school, rather than real world day-to-day use. Back then, all I had was my trusty HP48.

Man, I would love to see some really good astronomy apps available. All the ones I see are pretty basic*, or lousy.

I also wish I knew someone who does developing, because I've got an idea for an app, but know nothing about making it.


(* - I say pretty basic because - as an astronomy geek/nerd/devotee/etc for all my life - even stuff like Google Sky is simplistic to me)

My HP48 still gets a workout daily. I guess that's why I'm so fond of droid48. I haven't spent the time tying to figure out how to run some of my programs on it yet.

Wow, I had no idea that emulator app even existed. Thanks for the heads up!

any difficult problem would require paper and pencil so an app with difficult problems is kind of pointless

My apologies to anyone I might have offended. I tried to joke about writing an app to get me and my dorky-a$$ underwear off the locker.

I hope you all understand it was in jest.
